Uncle Bob is giving you sound, factual advice. My friend that sold a car at Gateway shared that the sales guy told him that they have car owners who decide they would like to sell, but also want a "Barrett Jackson Price" for their car. They want their garage space back and aren't in any rush to sell, so they consign the car and set a high price, but also give a "bottom line, must have" value that they must to get from a sale (also unrealistically high for the market). Every few months Gateway requires them to drop the listing price by a small dollar amount, say $500, so that their listing shows "Reduced Price", but they keep their reserve price fixed. For that the owner gets free, secure, space conditioned storage and doesn't have to deal with Joe Public calling all the time from Facebook Marketplace. With the price set high, he can drop his price by $500 or $1000 several times a year with no fear of the car selling unless a lottery winner decides that's his dream car. The Gateway showroom here has vehicles that have been in the "showroom" for several years, waiting for that "special buyer" who has deep pockets and big dreams.

To your statement that you live 6 hours away so dropping in to actually see the car isn't convenient, I'd offer that unless I knew the owner and the history of the car I would never buy a car online, sight unseen. My Grandad's advice to never buy "...a pig in a poke" still holds true. As Uncle Bob offered, best of luck with your education and search for your next ride.
